I wonder what the reaction would be if Shelley Luther was a inner-city black man running a barbershop who refused to close and then told the judge he had no remorse and intended to continue to run the barbershop illegally once released. That would be an interesting social experiment to see play out.
Yeah, how much you want to bet that person would get off and liberals would suddenly think the judge was wrong? And how much you want to bet that the same people supporting this woman would also support that man? I would take that bet because I know the outcome.
She also got a PPP loan. She didn’t go to jail for her employees she went to jail because that feeds her victim narrative and keeps the donations flowing.
How do you know that? A lot of people you’d think rich jumped through all the hoops and still haven’t received one penny from the PPP loan. If she got it, then she wouldn’t be doing this because the loan wouldn’t be forgiven if she was doing this. I’m calling bs on that one unless you show me a link on it.
She was jailed for contempt of court and guess what? Judges have wide latitude as to what constitutes contempt.
Those “kids” she needs to feed so badly? One is an adult, and the other is from two husbands ago - why isn’t the child’s father or stepfather helping “feed” her?
This woman is stinking rich, they have an estate with exotic animals and got back from a cruise before this all hit.
She doesn’t work at all - she owns a salon and stylists work for her.
Of her 19 stylists only 2 wanted to come back and work - the others weren’t interested in breaking the law and jeopardizing safety.
She went to the media days before she opened to tell them she was opening. It’s all a huge stunt to rake in the donation dollars.
If she weren’t white and blond everyone would be calling for her head.
Why am I not surprised by any of this?
The lengths some will go to get their 15 minutes of fame.
Judge says he won't release her until she admits she sees 5 lights.

Judge Moyé said she must see the errors of her ways and “understand that the society cannot function where one’s own belief in a concept of liberty permits you to flaunt your disdain for the rulings of duly elected officials.”
The sad reality in the United States is that the Federal government's financial support was held up for weeks due to partisan bickering. This woman (regardless of her financial status) and people who work for her probably were really back into a corner.
To put someone in prison for trying to work to feed her family is really unnecessary. Plus, Jails and prisons are ideal environments for an infectious disease to spread. They are, by design, often packed as much as possible, thus limiting the possibility of social distancing. They also severely limit access to hygiene products.
Putting this woman in jail and letting go of criminals sounds odd to me.
